Abstract
In the foregoing chapter it has become clear that in the realm of dhrupada there is much variety. Yet, the statement: “You may listen to ālāpa and dhrupada in rāga Darbārikānaḍā” gives a fairly definite idea of what to expect. The contrary is true for khayāl. This and the following chapters are aimed at unravelling the contents of a variety of styles in North India and the related terminology. The analysis will primarily be based on musical structure, although historical and sociological data have to be included.
